Shoulder ties for church and family photos, a single halter tie at the beach, or straps tucked away entirely for a strapless sundress. One dress, three looks, and no zip or buttons for small hands to fight with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 6X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Red, Royal Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e — tube-style smocked sundress, knee length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraps\u003c\/strong\u003e — versatile ties: shoulder, halter, or strapless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — tie closure, no zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, made in Hawaii, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smocked bodice does the work here — it stretches across the chest, so this dress fits a wider range of little bodies than a structured sundress does. Order her usual size for this season; if she's tall for her age or you want two summers out of it, go up one and knot the shoulder ties shorter. Knee length on most girls, a touch above the knee on the taller ones. The 6X-Large runs above the numbered sizes for older or bigger girls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlower girl duties at a beach ceremony, lu'au dinners, school Aloha Friday, and the long car ride to the airport. It's cotton, so she can eat shave ice in it and it washes clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCoordinating Pieces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same hibiscus smocked print is made up as the Classic Hibiscus Smocked Dress in women's sizing, so mother and daughter can dress from the one print. Order them together if you want the reds to read the same in photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold machine wash, tumble low or hang to dry. Cotton will tighten slightly on a hot wash, and the smocking prefers not to be baked — keep the dryer gentle and it keeps its stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years of dressing families from our Maui showroom, since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes 2 through 6 plus 6X-Large, in one print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching adult piece in the same print for mother-daughter sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

The smocking takes up the slack across the chest and you can shorten the shoulder ties, so a size up wears fine now and fits properly next summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it stay up without the straps tied?\u003c\/strong\u003e The smocked band is what holds it, not the straps. Worn strapless it stays put on most girls; for a full day of running around, tie it halter-style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I get an adult version in the same print?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — the Classic Hibiscus Smocked Dress uses the same print.
